5/7 Drop Round 1 = FAIL
5/7 Drop Round 1 = FAIL
sooo i had a flip kit laying around that i got for cheap whenever i bought some other parts from a guy awhile back that i figured id try out. the only thing is, i have 2" drop hangers, and i dont have my stockers anymore. SO that means with the flip kit id be around 7-8 inches of drop in the rear. But i figured what the hell and tried it out anyway.



^pinion angle was F'd, couldnt even get it close no matter how i shimmed it. (it was worse than it looks in the pic)

^driveshaft rubbage (only took it around the driveway


so...it didnt work out. its whatever tho, as i wasnt planning on keeping this set up anyways since ive never really been a fan of flip kits. but i WILL have atleast 7" of drop when im done with it (static and keeping the axle under the leafs) im just gonna have to cut and notch a bunch of stuff (crossmember and maybe the bed)
oh and as far as the front goes, i already have all the parts for it (2" drop control arms & 3" drop springs).
so hopefully by the end of january ill have it sittin lower with new parts
